Questione giuridica chiave
Whether Canton Solothurn is competent and liable to compensate detention ordered in Solothurn when the criminal case was later continued abroad and ended in acquittal.
Decisione estratta
The canton that ordered and carried out the detention remains the competent addressee of the compensation claim, even if the foreign authorities later concluded the prosecution with an acquittal.
Motivazione estratta
In the absence of a treaty rule, the court applied by analogy the domestic rule developed for inter-cantonal and delegation cases: the authority that imposed the coercive measure is best placed to assess whether the accused must bear the consequences and whether compensation is owed. That approach also governs the international situation here.
